Mobile First Audit

Is your website ready for mobile-first indexing? Google will soon be making changes to its algorithm so that websites will be ranked based on their mobile versions. That means that if your mobile site does not fully reflect your desktop version it could lead to a loss in rankings, traffic, leads and sales.

At Artemis we have created a mobile-first audit to help you protect your rankings and ensure that your website is not negatively affected by the change. Our SEO experts will carry out a technical audit that looks into the specifics of your site, offering recommendations for any potential issues.

What is Mobile First Indexing?

Mobile-first indexing is Google’s algorithm change that will rank its search listings based on the mobile version of websites – even for listings shown to desktop users.

In mid-2015, Google announced that more queries were being searched on mobile than desktop. And further research revealed that in late 2016, mobile web traffic completely overtook desktop traffic for the first time. Given this huge shift, it’s amazing how many businesses don’t have a website fit for mobiles.

In the past, lacking a mobile-friendly site would have impacted conversion rates but it wouldn’t have been a concern in terms of your search rankings. But Google’s announcement of mobile-first indexing on their Webmasters blog in 2016 opened up the risk that if you don’t have a mobile-friendly site, you could see slippage in your rankings.

At Artemis, we took this announcement very seriously and have been working hard to ensure that none our clients are affected by the shift. We have designed a mobile-first indexing audit and we now offer this service to any business that wants to ensure their online investment is secure.
